Naturally following the director’s interest in community theater, Make Room! is the expression of the revolt of a generation against an incompetent state apparatus that is indifferent to ordinary people’s problems – in this case, the serious problem of losing one’s dwelling as a result of the enforcement of the Property Law. Using as an ordering axis a series of interviews with the cast, who are asked questions meant to reveal the actors as they are in their private lives, the show becomes an amazing mixture of reality and fiction. To have or not to have – that is the question asked by the stage director and the playwright, to both the actors and – indirectly – the audience, in a lively show filled with humor, but in fact extremely serious.
